One of the first books I read in the Cadfael series and my favorite overall. Derek Jacobi and company did a bang-up job translating this story to film. I will certainly have to watch it again after I finish reading.

Not a smooth read. Or maybe this is a book to read without distractions. But I am enjoying it so far.

I'm on page 168 of Ron Perlman's autobiography, "Easy Street (The Hard Way)" and I'm lovin' it! I can hear the words in Ron's voice. INot a smooth read. Or maybe this is a book to read without distractions. But I am enjoying it so far.

I'm on page 168 of Ron Perlman's autobiography, "Easy Street (The Hard Way)" and I'm lovin' it! I can hear the words in Ron's voice. I can already tell I'm going to be disappointed when the book is finished. Not in Ron or his story, but that the book doesn't go on.

Right now Ron is telling the story of being nominated for a Golden Globe for the first season of "Beauty and the Beast". He is trying to related the oddness of the experience and the surreality of Hollywood. The way Ron tells his story is very engaging as I am sure any of you who have read it or are reading it already know.

Great to get an actor's point of view of my favorite series and a few movies. A little too preachy in the last chapter. But I enjoyed reading it. Sometimes I could almost "hear" Ron speaking the words. My wife just downlaoded the audio-book that he recorded. So we will see if the "voices" match....more

Preview — Easy Street by Ron Perlman

Not bad. At times epic. Though I haven't seen the movie in over twenty years I can still see what they used in the movie with Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis, Lawrence Olivier, Peter Ustinov, Charles Laughton etc. and how they moved the sequence of eventsNot bad. At times epic. Though I haven't seen the movie in over twenty years I can still see what they used in the movie with Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis, Lawrence Olivier, Peter Ustinov, Charles Laughton etc. and how they moved the sequence of events in the book around to fit the film. Not sure which was better at getting the story across. The book certainly kept the mystery of Spartacus intact. The movie had to flesh him out a bit more because he could not be left in the shadows and be always on screen. But, again, a good book. I'm glad I read it....more
